Ron, I have only one reason to believe Scott.. And I have stated it several times before.. And that is because he called me on several occasions asking me if I had heard from you and asking if I would try to get in touch with you for him. This happened both before and after delivery of both cars. He said he had been trying to reach you through several sources with no luck. Now I can only assume that he would not call me to try to reach you if he hadn't really been trying to do it with no success... Because what would be the reason?
But ASSUMING is not knowing is it, it's not "FACT" as you stated! I gave Scott three numbers to reach me by, I doubt all three were not working. Before the cars were shipped there were no missed calls, I answered every call from him, and called him many of times. Of course I did, I was waiting 7 months for the car, and wanted to get it! And as stated before, I WAS WILLING TO DEAL WITH THE PAINT AND OTHER PROBLEMS AFTER IT ARRIVED! The only call I got from him were after this was brought up on the forum.
I too have had problems emailing Scott before and after the cars were delivered. Unlike Scott I used the messaging system on the forum and got right through. I would email AND send him a message via the forum. That is trying on my part, NOT what Scott did. If Scott had emailed me using the forum’s link it would have worked, if he had messaged me via the forum it would have worked.
I also have to figure that Scott was having a hard time reaching you because on the occasions that I e-mailed you on his behalf, I never got a response either. I was not e-mailing you to get into any sort of argument about right or wrong. I simply wanted to help the two of you get together. It makes sense that since you didn't respond to me that he was probably having the same trouble.. Whether the trouble came from you ignoring his (and my) messages, or because your e-mail, phone, etc. was not working .. Well, that is another issue...
So you see, I am not simply talking out of my ass here with no facts.
I didn’t feel the need to reply to you, I was going to just deal with it. I didn’t feel there was a reason to contact Scott to have him make it right………what could he have done 600 miles away? I wasn’t going to deal with all of that. Again the only reason I brought it up was because he hadn’t ship the parts as he said he would for two months. If he had said “I need money for shipping” I would have sent him money for shipping. If he said he was waiting to get the parts I owed him, I would have dealt with that. I directly asked him if he was waiting for his parts before he shipped mine and he said no, and that it would be sent out that day (9-3-04).
As I have also said in previous messages.. You sent me a couple of PMs stating that you were unhappy with the paint on your car. I told you to contact Scott and give him a chance to fix it. Apparently you didn't do that for whatever reason and Scott heard about it from the person who chose to be your spokesperson on the forum. Maybe you should have just contacted him... You both had parts for the other. You were both a little unhappy with the deal. Ignoring each other is not the answer now, as it wasn't then. I have said that many times.
I didn’t ignore Scott, the one phone call he made I missed, I wasn’t there to answer it. I was so pissed off at him I didn’t want to TALK to him anyways. My emails and PMs were short and to the point to see about the parts being shipped, that’s all I wanted to deal with him.
By the way, I only brought this up again because your buddy is still making his comments. I still think it should be between you and Scott. Have the two of you discussed getting this done? If you need his number I can send it to you...
So I see it’s a domino effect thing, he said something bad about Scott so you feel the need to defend him. In doing so, you make me look bad, so I feel the need to defend myself. I wish this whole thing would go away but I’m still in need of parts.
What do you suggest Dale, do I just lay down and take it, keep getting the run around from Scott about shipping. Scott has had my email address since that issue was brought up about a month ago. It’s right there in the thread, but has he emailed me………nope.
Believe it or not everything I have told Scott I would do during our transaction I did. With one exception, in the beginning I gave the cashiers check for Scott to my wife to mail, she didn’t, so the next day I shipped it out next day air to Scott, to get things going and to make that wrong right.
